“Out, lol!”
-me
The UCL has concluded its group stage. And (sadly) Newcastle have not qualified for the round of 16 or the Europa League knockouts. (Hilariously) neither has ManUre. The Europa League has their final group matches today. The Chiefs are still bitching about a correct offsides call. And that’s pretty much it for sports. Now on to…the links!
What a strange tale. The best part is the daughter complaining, when a basic understanding of science would show her that if he hadn’t done what he did she would not exist. But anyway, there’s a chance for a payday so I guess that’s what’s expected of her even after 43 years.
“Just the same”
– retards
LOL. Yeah, it’s exactly the same. The best part is when the “reporter” says it threatens to undercut his case. Well, if they’re hoping on the “no, you too!” defense to work here, I think they’re going to be disappointed. Because one os normal and the other, if the allegations are true, is very much not normal.
What a bunch of bastards. How dare they undermine the echo chamber!
“That’s different!”
-the left
You gotta be shitting me. What’s honest about it? Either you’re a racist and you wish nobody had found out. Or you’re a racist and you don’t care if anybody found out. I don’t see what other option exists.
I hope this is just the beginning. Because I honestly believe her story is not all that unique in that community.
I hope the peasants revolt. Because they should. If not for this, then for everything else.
I think the police should leave them alone. And I think they should very loudly announce that they will not be patrolling or even monitoring the area impacted. The problem would work itself out in a very short period of time.
Just read to the last paragraph. It’s freaking hilarious. I wonder when the enviro-tards get in a fight with the chemtrails folks. I hope its soon.
It’s time I started with this. I won’t have a ton of chances before the big day. Thank you Phil Spector. You may have been a fucking psychopath, but you did put together a solid Christmas album.
Anyway, enjoy the music. And have a wonderful Thursday, dear friends.
What a bunch of bastards. How dare they undermine the echo chamber! – they are POC it’s alright

Make segregation great again
We used to have freedom of association. That means the colored only party is fine, as is a whites-only party.
We don’t have it anymore so the second party would end in firings and maybe arrests.
But this is government, so it violates the 14th amendment.
It really does depend if any taxbux went into the funding the party.
Them: “It was all Soros an Zucker bucks!”
It’s also in exceedingly bad taste.
Bad taste? In Bahsten? Are you retahded or sumthin?
She’s racist and is upset the wrong people found out.
I thought East Asians were white these days? Meh, doesnt matter. She is cute enough to be a solid ‘would’.
“Hey honey, how about some integration instead?”
“Sorry Louisiana white guy, I don’t screw ice apes.”
But, yeah, not bad looking.
Suthen is no ice ape. He’s a rouxback.
Is that a Minnesoda cousin of the NJ ginny Sasquatch?
ginny=guinea
Damned auto correct.
I have heard that before. That is just what they want people to think. If you only knew what goes on when no one is looking…
Misspelled “wood”
The old stereotype:
Southern racists live in close proximity to blacks while declaring how much they dislike them.
Northern racists live as far as possible from blacks while declaring how much they really like them.
I hope this is just the beginning. Because I honestly believe her story is not all that unique in that community.
Sadly for me this issue is so politically charged it is hard to know what info to believe . But I do not doubt there were many wrong transitions, impossible otherwise
Yeah — but this is where the “everything hurts the environment (but me!)” folks are going. And we all know it.
To the extent that sexual dysmorphia is a legitimate condition, it’s a psychological condition, and should be treated as such. Medial and surgical interventions should only be considered after a lot of therapy.
They shouldn’t be considered at all. It is a grotesque evil that would make Josef Mengele cringe. All of the people involved from doctors to parents should be imprisoned or shot.
At this point I think sexual dysmorphia is about as legitimate as body thetans.
I am sure this marxist cuck will come out and blame capitalism and republicans for this shit. That’s what he did before, so I am betting money he doubles down…
It does sound like he specialized in being fertile…
I feel for people who find out in these sorts of stories when they accidentally fall in love with a half-sibling or something. (how was I to know we were both related….), but yeah – didn’t get any hint of that there. Just “it wasn’t the anonymous medical resident we expected!” I mean… you still didn’t know and he was still in the medical field… wasn’t that far off.
I guess I’m just not empathetic today.
Morning, Sloopy — morning, all.
you just had to butt in and break the streak
Just don’t try for a First! shtick. 😉
I can’t see where any damage is that would merit compensation.
I sold my splooge to pay for med/law/barber school!
So… you’re a Barber-Surgeon.
A LEGAL Barber-Surgeon!
So you Passed the Bar-ber exam?
I see what you did there, sir…
Just read to the last paragraph. It’s freaking hilarious. I wonder when the enviro-tards get in a fight with the chemtrails folks. I hope its soon.
tin foil hats for both sides
Tard on Tard battles!
I’m not going to dig up the article I skimmed yesterday but I believe it said this party is not a new thing. So option 3: Boston is in general racist and she just didn’t change anything?
Boston has probably been the most racist city in America for over 100 years.
And that’s why I find option 3 plausible. 😉
The only place where I have met ore racists was NYC. The libs there are all racist as fuck, but they don’t think it is bad they are racists.
I came from Texas and Richmond VA to Boston, and I was surprised by the racism in Boston. Much worse than in Deplorable Central and the Capitol of the Confederacy.
That remains a popular incorrect opinion with people who’ve never even visited
I’ve visited. Had excellent Chinese food. Didn’t meet any overt racists. The drivers there really are amazingly bad however.
They at least know how to use horns.
I remember going to a Celtics game in the early 90s while visiting my sister, who was nannying for a family in Quincy. I probably only heard the n-word directed at the court 200 times during the two hours I was there in the Garden.
And then only a thousand times while out and about in the city after the game.
And I don’t believe I’m alone in thinking this way. https://harvardpolitics.com/why-is-boston-racist/
I was there in the mid 80s. Who knows? Maybe it’s changed.
That’s utterly at odds with my experience here over the last several decades, especially the latter bit but perhaps you were in a part of the city I didn’t spend much time in during the 90s.
That article is, uh, something. I’ll note it doesn’t actually present any evidence that Boston is particularly racist, just some anecdotes.
I’m not saying Bill Russell didn’t put up with some shit or the Yawkeys weren’t racist POSs, just that “Boston so racist” is just one of those “everyone knows” things even when it’s at odds with current reality. I’ll note that the most popular Bostonian in my lifetime was a rather dusky gentleman.
The Fifth Column podcast touched on it a few months back (Moynihan’s a Masshole) and 90% of that reputation comes from one picture and even that’s more complicated than you’d think (it was much more a class thing than a race thing).
Nuh-uh!
The South is where the most racist people are. Why do you deny SCIENCE! you racist SCIENCE! denier?
I’ve said it before — but I do think there will be a lot of regret in the future of the upcoming generation… and then a whole hell of a lot of rage at the “adults” who encouraged and abetted these terrible choices and quite likely a lot of violence done as a result.
I hope so. Because those ghouls destroyed a lot of lives.
Make sure you explain to these other generations that the problems we have today stem from the fact tat we adopted the practice of viewing DEI/CRT priorities over competence and knowledge and put idiots that did far more damage than those put there through nepotism (cause that also never went away) making the whole thing incompetence of a higher order.
“The Chiefs are still bitching about a correct offsides call.”
One that was obviously correct. One of the announcers said that before this year, the refs usually wouldn’t call it, but would give a warning. I was very surprised that there was such a thing as penalty warnings. Apparently, encroachment was only called a couple of times last year, but more than a dozen this year so far because they stopped giving warnings.
There has been some terrible officiating this year.
True, but not that call.
Agreed. Local media has been amplifying Myles Garrett’s complaints (with pictures of an O-Lineman’s arms wrapped around his face from behind). I’m kind of on board with the idea of the league fining the refs for egregiously bad/missed calls.
Do you want a flag on every play? Because thats how you get a flag on every play.
I’d just like each ref squad to be consistent. Not even consistent from squad to squad, just for teams to have an idea of what they are gonna get from a given squad and play accordingly.
It seems like we’re already there.
I wrote a long reply but got a server error.
The gist of it was the I watched James Harrison, T.J Watt, and many others get mugged with no flag.
Pass interference and roughing the passer call get made all the time.
Inconsistent officiating is killing my enjoyment watching the NFL and it is one of the major reasons I no longer devote all day on Sunday to it.
Also, the correct team won, so that call was even more correcter.
That is the standard that most people apply. If it helped my team, it’s a good call. If it hurt my team, it’s a bad call.
Someone else pointed out that the Chiefs were in an illegal formation too.
Also in sports, the Detroit Pistons extended their losing streak to 21 consecutive games last night. They sure are getting their money’s worth from that expensive new head coach.
I hope they play the Spurs and break their own streak and extend Pop’s. He deserves a long run of futility.
That lady on the front pic looks familiar…
“What a strange tale.” There’s been a bunch of those. We had a threatened lawsuit at my hospital over exactly that. Th only problem is, there’s really no legal claim for damages. The mother contracted for a service, and got the service she contracted for. If there’s a claim for emotional distress because your father isn’t who you thought it was, well, I guess every adopted kid has a claim, not to mention every kid who’s mother slept around on her husband, or even who got impregnated by some no-account dirtbag baby-daddy.
When asked what his claim was, exactly, the lawyer in our case pretty much just went away.
Of course, a company that actually holds an asset isn’t a shell company, so no, holding real estate in a partnership pretty much means the partnership isn’t a shell company by definition. Feeble gotcha is feeble.
Sounds like this company actually serves some legitimate purpose. I still haven’t heard any explanation of exactly what those Biden companies do. (Legally. We all know it’s money laundering).
Sloopy, you are wrong. It is almost as hilarious that the Barcodes are out.

$9,750,000
Clearly you want to move.
I will try to find some parcels on the opposite end. I found three acres in Texas for $8,000 once. It had no access or utilities, but it was land.
Make sure he can bring over his castle and coffin..
I read that as cattle and coffin, which both made sense.
I have some riverfront property available. 9 acres, access roads, power in. About 80K. Have me for a neighbor. Bring your own snow shovel
Nice place but it’s in New Jersey.
What exit?
My answer was “Exit 19 off of Route 80”.
I used to work in Madison and drive through Chatham, Harding, Mendham, Bedminster, and Chester. Some of the very richest neighborhoods in the country. I preferred the 200+ year-old colonials in Harding to the gaudier mansions in Mendham, but that is where the money is.

“Police should leave them alone”
1. I see cops standing around in the photo like it is their donut break. They already are doing nothing.
2. The fact that a drunk dude didn’t just plow through them is astounding. That will happen soon. I am amazed it hasn’t happened yet. It is a well known fact that pedestrians on a highway means you break into meaty chunks when a distracted driver / drunk driver comes by.
I want the cops to do nothing…10 miles away from the bottleneck. And to do nothing when the people in cars solve the problem on their own.
That can’t happen if the cops are on-scene.
Because the cops were there mainly to protect the “protestors”. While they committed crimes.
https://xkcd.com/1677/
I have completely straight-facedly adopted the approach of insisting that contrails are called chemtrails in the US. And also using “chemtrail” to mean the way ants make their paths (also via xkcd). And also pretending to have no idea what the chemtrail people mean. Just to make them mad when the rare opportunity arises.
The chemtrail conspiracy theory is just so wild.
Thousands and thousands of Americans are involved in a program to spray poison over the country (including, presumably, where the pilots and ground crews live) and not one of those thousands have blown the whistle.
Millions of people willingly spray poison all over their home and yards everyday.
They don’t even care that it makes the frogs (and them) gay. *shrug*
That was the secret part of airplane mechanic school.
No I mean pesticides, herbicides, various plastics… I don’t think it’s any conspiracy, just people using whatever works and is convenient. Doesn’t mean it’s healthy for you, even if it won’t give you ass cancer or death.
My daughter is me turned up to 11, in both good and bad ways, so I am not worried about our fertility doctor pulling shenanigans.
I guess since they fucked it all up and then ended up taking it in the ass, the call for others that have nothing to do with their stupidity and barbarism to be killed by blood thirsty fuckwads makes total sense.
globalize the intifada!
RICO when?
When this idiot said his father had dedicated his entire life to “public service” in this clip, I am sure he meant his dad “serviced the public” like a bull “services” a cow.
I hate that, and I hate even more that people still fall for that BS. I’ve also seen charts recently with before/after net worth after those public servants have been in office for a while. It is staggering.
People that lack imagination rob banks, stores, and other such entities. People that are real evil go into politics and fleece the tax payers for orders of magnitudes more without ever having to really worry about jail time like the other robbers do…
“Wu admitted it was a mistake that every member of the Boston City Council received invitations to the controversial holiday party, and had already talked to those that were uninvited.”

P.S. Fuck off whitey.
Who’d a thunk that water fountains with “whites only” would make a comeback, but this time it is because all the “good people” don’t want the dirty cracker lips on their water fountains.
If the white city council members don’t have a “Whites Only” party now, they are pussies.
Life imitates Better Off Ted.

Yesterday there were huge chem trails across the sky in SC. It sure made wonder. Climate change juice or Pax?
Article says cold and high humidity. I know SC has the latter, was it relatively cold yesterday?
It was clear, dry, and below freezing at ground level. Exactly the same this morning without contrails.

Antonellis is a cheese shop that opened in Austin back when I still lived there and was most aggressively into my hipster foodie phase. It was started up by a genuinely nice couple that formerly worked at Dean & DeLuca. Totally concierge, personal accounts (I was customer #420!) a typical visit involved you tasting a dozen different things before making a purchase. It’s survived and expanded. My best friend/former roommate/mother of my godson got me a subscription to their “cheese o’ the month club” and as part of that, they put out preview videos.
two things:
1. One of the cheeses this month is one that I have constant access to by living here (the Nettle Meadow Kunik) but It’s good for the Austinites to be introduced to it.
2. Holy cringey facepalming soyboy stereotypes Batman!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdhNMcYFIx0
Something is off with people (especially men) that move their necks that much when they talk.
What could it be?
don’t be silly good cheese only exists in Europe.
Sad, provincial Pie.
Dammit, missed an opportunity for alliteration, should have been “Poor, Provincial Pie”
too late now.
They were in an ad for one of the credit card companies, I believe.
Not having a TV, I was unaware of this.
1. Really into fancy cheese
2. Doesn’t own a TV
3. Wears unusual, old-timey hat
Not Adahn is a Portlandia character.
😉
I rarely get to wear my tophat. I missed Victorian Streetwalk this year.
I should check to see if my Tophat was damaged in storage. I haven’t had an excuse to wear it since… a college friend’s wedding.
They’re the ones in that Capital One commercial. I hope they made enough from that to cut the prices of their cheese.
Last time I saw a commercial for them, Capital one commercials were all about Vikings and pirates.
That’s it. When I saw it, I wondered if it was a real cheese shop and they were real people (in the sense of, not actors).
Having watched that video, their employees are indistinguishable from actors.
NB: This is not unusual for Austin. Amy’s Icecream and Thundercloud Subs would have employes put on performances during food prep (think Benihana) and would be tipped accordingly.
… employees put on performances during food prep…
That sounds like “please never shop here” to my ears.
It can be disappointing when the scoop jockey does a 360 spin while tossing the scoop into the air– and sticks it into the ceiling. Then they’ve got to start all over again.
Found it, watched it.
Yes, John and Kendall are real, and wonderfully nice.
They are rarely at the shop anymore however. They spend most of their time planning/promoting/attending events.
…what about all the great cheeses made by Black and Brown people?
This shop is racist.
The protest started just after 9 a.m. and brought traffic to a halt. All lanes were reopened by 11:25 a.m.,

Speaking of racial progress….
Our long nightmare is over. Kids will no longer have to go to a school named after a totes racist slave holder!
– No idea why Founding Father is in scare quotes.
– If I had more time, I’d love to go through old records and find some semi-famous person named Camden who owned slaves and start a rumor that that is who the school is really named after.
Schools should not have names only number.
I attend 7234. like that.
I like that. All government buildings should be numbered.
The White House could be Federal Temporary Housing Unit 01.
Just use the address. Then we can fight over street names like we had over renaming Jefferson Davis Highway (the name changes in each jurisdiction).
10 Downing Street
What about public school 1488 or such?
I’m just spitballing here but just say it’s really a homage to Camden, SC and SC was a slaveholding state in the day and was the first state to secede and you find the association to be offensive. Throw in something about the Scots too for good measure, I’m sure there’s something.
Or the Camden, NJ slave market, which was quite sizable.

Oh yes, that’d do nicely.
My schools were named for a film director, a president, a developer, a city, and a city.
My schools were named for a saint and two previously existing schools that merged (one named after a cathedral, the other a Boston school and expected proximity to a cathedral).
My schools were named for a road, a mayor, some bureaucrat, and a city
In Mpls, I went to Minnehaha elementary, Nokomis Junior High and lived on Hiawatha Ave.
I’m actually surprised that they didn’t try to use some Ojibwe word for the new school name. Even though the Ojibwe colonized the shit out of the Dakotas who were here first.
Probably because the school is in a mostly black neighborhood and there isn’t any love lost between those two groups.
– elementary school – named after the road it’s on
– jr high – named after a former teacher
– high school – named after the town (“X High School”)
Elementary – named after the road it was on, which was a couple of Spanish words
Jr High – named after some guy who owned the land in the 1800s
High – named after a variety of orange
Anger over plan to name Métro station after ‘misogynist’ Serge Gainsbourg
Petition demanding station outside Paris does not use singer’s name has received 4,000 signatures
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/13/anger-over-plan-to-name-metro-station-after-misogynist-serge-gainsbourg
Metro stations should not have names. Only numbers.
They should be known by coordinates.
In order to keep things interesting and signpainters employed, the coordinated should be determined in reference to moi, and should be updated every 17 days, skipping quarter-moons in fire signs.
Love me some Serge Gainsbourg, he was a brilliant musician (and likely a massive asshole). My fav of his:

“when a basic understanding of science would show her that if he hadn’t done what he did she would not exist”
I mean, not really. She would still exist, just not with her current genetics. Maybe that meets some definition of non-existence, but not for me.
“She would still exist, just not with her current genetics.”
Well, somebody else would exist, but he or she wouldn’t be her.
What’s it really mean to exist though, man?
*hits bong*
She would still exist, just not with her current genetics
Some other person might exist. She would not exist, because she is the result of one specific sperm and one specific egg.
Would it be Her? I’d say no.
Seems like I’m in the minority in this line of thinking. I’ve always considered I’d still exist even if a different sperm out of the millions had made me, even with the understanding that I would be a different person. I guess this is venturing into a philosophical question and how a “soul” or identity inhabits a body.
My parents had four boys and one girl. We all share the same family resemblance. Personality wise, we are all very different. Every sperm is sacred.
The single best thing I have learned* from Bryan Caplan (and I like him a lot, even when we disagree): If you change anything in your life before your kids were born, a different sperm would be involved and your kids would be different. So no point in having regrets pre-kids, if you love them as they are.
I sometimes think about things I wish I had done differently, then I think about my daughter and realize I am totally okay with everything I did. So thanks Bryan!
*not so much learned, as it is obvious, but the application.

Ah, well.
Yeah, I wonder why that doesn’t happen, because it would be my first instinct to do just that.
I wonder why that doesn’t happen
Because we all know the system will crush anyone that takes action against these assholes.
There needs to be immediate, physical repercussions for this type of behavior.
Really winning hearts and changing minds.
What is a JSO?
those Just Stop Oil luddites
What was that all about? Oh, more “Look at me! Look at me!” bullshit. Yes, a good asswhipping is in order.
“Saudi Arabia, the world’s second-biggest oil producer, was one of the main countries opposing an aggressive commitment to phase out fossil fuels at the United Nations-led summit. Saudi Arabia and other large oil-producing nations have traditionally held sway in nixing potential agreements on reducing oil, gas and coal, which when burned cause climate change.”
Not mentioned in the article who the number one oil producing nation is, and what that unnamed nation is doing with regards to throttling one of (if not *the”) its most important industries.
“oil, gas and coal, which when burned cause climate change.”
Assumed without evidence. Personally I dont think it does at all, but that is just me.
I watched those useless assholes spray down Christmas trees with orange paint. Nobody said anything, did anything to stop them. They were allowed to calmly finish.

Some recruiter from Apple is asking me if I am interested to join them. I dunno i doubt i pass weird apple interviews and also i asume it is one of those American jobs that burn you out.

I doubt it. It’s a big corporation. You probably could away with 8 hours of real work a week and take some meetings.

Argh, I knew this would happen. I’ll likely be out in the field when my post goes live at 12, but I plan to jump into the comments for a few minutes and then later in the day.
How are things on Twitter/X for those of you who are gluttons for punishment like me? I have 92 followers now (somehow I lost one). Yesterday I made a comment and some lefty account responded “93 whole followers.” After some deliberation I decided to reply “Thanks. I think some of them are even real people!”
“and yet, here you are commenting”
Not sure follower counts are some indication of quality.
Clout chaser lives matter.
If you’re not famous or credentialled, why should I listen to you?
I assume both my followers are bots.
Solid Xmas tunes there. This one is probably my fav soul one.

‘You gotta be shitting me. What’s honest about it? Either you’re a racist and you wish nobody had found out. Or you’re a racist and you don’t care if anybody found out. I don’t see what other option exists.’
What bothers me is the double standard of our society, We’re really sick as a whole to let people in government act this way when those with no power at all have their lives over turned because of song lyrics, or dressing the ‘wrong way’.
Dan Bongino says it’s not hypocrisy, it’s hierarchy. That’s why the left is so shameless. They’re in charge, they live by a different set of rules, and they want you to know it.
Medical saga:
I hurt my neck in July. I did nothing about it until Sept, when I saw an orthopedic doc. Got an MRI (my C6-7 disk is, in technical terms, shit), started physical therapy and everything was getting better. I had 2 sessions left and I reinjured it, worse than originally. Went back to the doc, who sent me to a spine specialist (read: surgeon). Fortunately, he isn’t cut happy. He suggested another 4 weeks of PT, and if I am still having problems, we would get a new MRI and discuss surgical options.
I have 3 sessions left, ending next friday, and I am feeling much better, so will be able to dodge the surgery option, at least for now. Plus, and the purpose of this post, I got a home traction machine yesterday (not one of the cheap over the door type). The traction machine has been my favorite part of PT. This one isnt electronic, I have to pump and release by hand, but I tried it out last night and it is almost as good. Give me a few months and I will be a legit 6′ tall instead of rounding.
I have probably taken more tylenol in the last 4 months than the first 54 years of my life.
Hope you get to feeling better and are able to get off the T. 54 years does not an old man make.
Glad you’re on the mend without going under the knife.
This one isnt electronic, I have to pump and release by hand, but I tried it out last night and it is almost as good.
These euphemisms…
re: all the tylenol – watch you liver, dude, especially if you drink.
I have been, mostly, off the booze during this period. I have been mix and matching Tylenol and Motrin and won’t drink anything within 24 hours or so of Motrin. And careful about the Tylenol too.
Cranial sacral therapy could help if you find somebody who is good. Somebody really good at it helped my wife a great deal.
Twice a day, whether you need it or not!
“I reinjured it, worse than originally”
You should stop doing that.
We got new window well covers and I was attaching the safety chains. Then hopped down out of the window to the basement floor. About a 2.5 ft drop. Did that 3 times. One of them rejarred my neck. Should have used a step ladder, but it didnt look like a problem. I guess I am not 24 anymore.
BTW, this is genetic, my Mom had the exact same thing in her 40s. Lots of pain for about 6 months then it went away. That was 40 years ago. I am hoping for the same.
Right where she belongs
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says former President Donald Trump ‘s policies toward China left America “more vulnerable and more isolated” in the global economy, a rare jab by her at the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.
Yellen, in prepared remarks to be delivered at a U.S.-China Business Council event Thursday night, says the Trump administration “failed to make investments at home in critical areas like infrastructure and advanced technology, while also neglecting relationships with our partners and allies that had been forged and strengthened over decades.”
It must be a huge relief to her, no longer having to feign political neutrality.
Get back to destroying the currency, Janet.
“I hope this is just the beginning. Because I honestly believe her story is not all that unique in that community”
It’s nearly impossible to find a non-insane pediatrician. They are the scummiest of the medical profession. I had a friend who was lectured by a pediatrician about how his two year-old needed the COVID vax or else “schools will never reopen”. He laughed in her face because his kid goes to private school, which never closed. Then she said that he just needed to trust her advice because she swore the Hippocratic Oath.
That is obviously a lie as anyone who has read the Hippocratic Oath knows that American doctors either completely ignore the oath or are completely unfamiliar with what it entails. Good luck convincing American doctors that they should not “help a woman procure an abortion”; “mutilate the body when not medically necessary”, nor “deny service to those in need”.
Makes you realize that a Greek physician from before Christ had a stronger sense of morality than 21st Century physicians
Any employees of “green energy” companies there looking for subsidies?
It’s wrong to have oil company executives there. At least have Green CEOS, like pedophile bank JP Morgan or Raytheon.
Yellen, who rarely comments on the previous administration’s approach on trade, said Trump-era policies on China “left America more vulnerable and more isolated in a competitive global economy that demands that nations take exactly the opposite approach.”
“It damaged our global standing and meant significant missed economic opportunities for American firms and workers,” she says.
In her speech, previewed for the press ahead of the event, Yellen highlights the Biden administration’s strategy of strengthening relationships with like-minded nations through “friend shoring” with nations like South Korea, Vietnam, Japan, India and Indonesia.
Trump wrecked Obama’s beautiful Trans Pacific Partnership. You know, that free trade deal that was totally about free and open trade.
Yellen is the greatest Fed president of all time. Never again can anyone pretend as if the Fed is populated with “the smart people” who are just “apolitical”. Yellen will always stand as the counterpoint to that argument. That idiot actually told congress that the inability to attain nine-month abortions would retard economic growth. There is definitely a retard in that statement
Is this real?

The Biden’s Christams video with drag queens.
*Christmas*
It probably is. Sadly. Biden is a clown and has clowns for Christmas.
End run
Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a gathering of state legislators at the White House on Wednesday, an event designed to roll out new policies from the administration to combat gun violence at the state level.
Harris announced the Biden administration’s new “Safer States Initiative,” and unveiled two new executive actions — the first ones announced by the two-month-old White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
——-
While President Joe Biden has signed a slew of executive orders to date, the administration’s latest effort encourages state-level policy changes — a response, in part, to inaction from Congress and increasingly protective rulings on gun possession and ownership from the courts. Many gun safety experts see more appetite for policy changes at the state level in the near term.
“All across the country — in Memphis, in Nevada, in Chicago, all parts of the country — each one of the tragedies that have been in national headlines recently have demonstrated how important it is to have strong federal legislation but also strong state and local legislation,” a senior administration official told reporters, previewing the announcement. “And we certainly want to show up as partners for states to help them advance their efforts to save lives.”
The White House invited legislators from every state to attend Wednesday’s event, the senior administration official said. Legislators from Maine were in attendance, just months after a shooter killed 18 people in Lewiston.
They can’t get their agenda through Congress, and the Supreme Court is no longer rubber stamping everything they come up with. It’s time for a new strategy.
I have a solution. Make Escape from New York a reality and wall up all the major cities run by Democrats that have insane crime rates.
I have said this many times.
The good news is, Kamala is running it. Guaranteed failure, like everything else she touches.
Blow the bridges across the Potomac and Occoquan. Create checkpoints at the Rappahannock crossings.
I need this today:

Slapping people a lot today.
Heads rolled
General Motors’ Cruise autonomous vehicle unit has dismissed nine “key leaders” amid ongoing safety investigations sparked by an October accident in San Francisco, according to an internal message obtained by CNBC.
The departures include leaders from Cruise’s legal, government affairs, commercial operations and safety and systems teams, according to the company-wide message, which GM and Cruise spokespeople confirmed was authentic.
The message said “new leadership is necessary” for the company to regain trust and operate “with the highest standards when it comes to safety, integrity, and accountability.”
——-
The company also faces regulatory pressure and fines for potentially misleading or withholding information about the accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and California Public Utilities Commission are probing Cruise and the incident.
GM CEO Mary Barra, who serves as chair of Cruise, last week in Detroit said the company is “very focused on righting the ship” at Cruise. Its actions include two ongoing external safety reviews that will guide the company’s path forward. They are expected to be completed in early 2024, she said.
“The personnel decisions made today are a necessary step for Cruise to move forward as it focuses on accountability, trust and transparency. GM remains committed to supporting Cruise in these efforts,” GM said in an emailed statement Wednesday.
It looks like Mary might be feeling the heat.
I wonder if those are the same idiots that are getting rid of Apple and Android CarPlay at GM. Apparently they couldn’t make it work right in their electric cars, even though all the other companies can do it.
If I was ever to consider buying a GM car, no CarPlay would knock them right off the list. I’m not one of those people who lives on their phone, but I must say, of all the new electronics slathered onto cars, that one is worth it. A real map on the screen, and my podcasts through the speakers, I like and wouldn’t want to go back.
GM executives, including Barra, had hoped the startup would be ramping up a driverless transportation network this year, and hoped Cruise would play a notable role in doubling the company’s revenue by 2030.
But thus far, Cruise has cost GM more than $8 billion since the company acquired it in 2016, according to public filings. The losses have been increasing annually, including $1.9 billion through the third quarter of this year.
It just needs more AI hype.
